Setting up the STF configuration file

STF has a configuration file that is used to set up the tool's functionality, for example, the default environment settings such as filepaths for test reports, and the test modules to be used.

To set up the configuration file, do the following:

  1. To start creating the configuration file, select File > New > Other.
  2. Select Carbide Extensions > STF Configuration file, and click Next.
  3. Click Browse to locate the file container of your choice, that is, the project being tested.
  4. In the File name field, enter the name of the configuration file.
  5. Click Finish.

    The configuration file (identified with a .ini file extension) is created to the selected container in Project Explorer. In addition, it is opened in the Carbide.c++ view as a text-only version.

    For instructions on how to modify this file using the STF Configuration Editor, see Editing the configuration file.
